‘A Fazenda 18’ Cast Announced on September 14
According to CNN Brasil, Daniel Erthal was announced as a cast member of ‘A Fazenda 18’ on September 14. He is an actor who attracted attention for playing Leo in TV Globo’s youth drama ‘Malhação (Malhação).’
His background is not limited to acting. In 2013, he established the beer business ‘Cervejaria Erthal,’ and CNN Brasil reported that he also created an Oktoberfest event called ‘Oktoberthal’ in Bento Gonçalves, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. In early 2024, he was also reported to have been operating a beer cart in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro.
‘A Fazenda 18’ is a program in which 22 contestants, including Daniel Erthal, compete for a prize of 200 million Brazilian reais. However, his past career as an actor and his performance on the program are separate matters. The casting announcement means only that he is participating; it does not indicate the outcome of the competition that follows.
Bed Assignment Dispute After Sleeping on the Sofa
According to UOL, the conflict occurred while the new contestants were discussing sleeping arrangements after entering the residence. Daniel Erthal, who had slept on the sofa the previous day, argued that the contestants should take turns using the beds, and he exchanged words with Stephanie Gomes during the discussion.
He expressed dissatisfaction, saying that he felt he alone had been prevented from using a bed, and he also openly stated that he intended to target Stephanie Gomes in the first vote. The bed issue immediately after moving in may appear trivial, but in a reality program where contestants live together, the feeling that someone has been excluded often quickly becomes a catalyst dividing votes and relationships.
UOL commentator Bárbara Saryne assessed the scene by saying that Erthal’s reaction was strong for the beginning of the season. This is the commentator’s assessment and does not mean that the contestant’s future actions or final result have been determined.
Alliance Proposal Targeting the First ‘Roça’
After the conflict, Daniel Erthal proposed to Fran Almeida and Monica Fonseca that they vote together with his group. According to an R7 video report, the group he mentioned included Lucas Bisoli, Ricardo Negrao, Murilo Dias, and Jotape.
Erthal said that he believed the other female contestants in the residence had already formed an alliance and that Fran Almeida was outside that strategy. What is notable here is not simply the argument, but the attempt to create a voting bloc immediately after the conflict. Whether the bed-assignment controversy will end as a personal grievance or develop into an alliance structure for the first ‘Roça’ vote remains something to be confirmed through the program’s progression.
